What is the difference between Feng Shui and Vaastu?


Vastu is one of the oldest architectural sciences, consisting of particular rules, regulations, and instructions laid down by Vedic sages. A house, according to Vastu shastra, is a living soul with prana. The name "Vastu" comes from Vastu, which means "to depict whatever that exists," such as a house or a building. Shastra means "systems" or "knowledge" in Sanskrit. Feng Shui, on the other hand, is an ancient Chinese art form that promotes living in harmony with the environment in order to live lives of fulfilment and happiness. “Feng” means “wind” in Chinese, and “Shui” means “water,” meaning that the methodology entails balancing the cosmic element water and the cosmic quality “wind” in a system to establish cosmic harmony.
